Blood & Bacon (89¢ - 10% off) is just ridiculous gun **** involving shooting and lots and lots of lots of pigs. Looks like it should be horrible but is rated Overwhelmingly Positive. Only 10% off but still under a buck and I'll wind up playing it with friends.

Melody's Escape ($4.99 - 50% off) isn't on a super deep discount but I've been playing it since I bought it on the first day of the sale. It's a "Play to your music" rhythm game, set as a side scrolling runner. Levels are generated by the beat/tempo/energy of your tracks and ranges from "really good" to "pretty good" depending on how nontraditional the structure is. Even the weakest levels ("Energy peaks") are pretty fun if not as whiz-bang cool as when it finds a strong 4/4 beat. Rated Very Positive.

Don't know if I'll get anything else. Certainly a far cry from the days where I'd drop three digits during a seasonal sale.

I picked up some games about pooping. They were $0.66 each. I had many Gaben Funbucks to cover them.

I also picked up some other games that one probably shouldn't freely admit to playing. Also covered by Funbucks. Which had cards which sold for quite a bit to replenish said funbucks. Cause people that play those games also like paying a lot for the cards that come from them.

There is more in my wishlist. Also some of these are not great deals (some are!) But I recently went through a long span of games that fit my favorite genre's DS3, FO4, W3, etc. Also I need this methadone list to ease me back into not all games I play are competing for game of the year and also in my wheel house of action/rpg/single player addiction center.

An old silent pond... A frog jumps into the pond, splash! Silence again.

Working with Blind Squirrel Games, we’ve remastered BioShock, BioShock 2, and BioShock Infinite making them look better than ever*. BioShock: The Collection brings the three titles together for the first time, complete with all single-player DLC** and a never-before-seen video series, “Director’s Commentary: Imagining BioShock,” which includes insights from Ken Levine – over $100 of content – for only $59.99. It’s a circus of values! And if you already own BioShock, BioShock 2, and/or Minerva’s Den on Steam, you will be able to upgrade to the remastered version of the respective title(s) for free after release. It’s a circus of values!

Get 'im now for cheap if you don't own them so you can get the remastered versions free. No real "remaster" of BS:I for PC since it already meets "next gen" standards.

Edit: If you owned BS2 before the GFWL switch in 2013, you should have gotten Minerva's Den free when they switched from GWFL to Steam. But it doesn't show as owned on the store page and I had to confirm it via my Steam library ("show downloadable content") or else I might have accidentally repurchased it.

Indie Gala is giving away a copy of Between Me & the Night with any purchase of $4 or more from their store (bundles don't count). It's a well reviewed game and is currently $7.49 on Steam at 50% off. A number of IG's sale prices match Steam's so it might be worth looking if you were going to buy something anyway. You also get a "scratch card" (i.e. free random game) with every purchase -- I got Intake.

So, for buying Kholat for the same $7.49 price it is on Steam, I got Kholat, Between Me & the Night and Intake. Not a bad deal at all.
